Betrayal
I don't remember much about that night.
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died.
I think it rained, I think it rained.
I'm pretty sure it rained the day I died.
You and I were always closest friends.
It's women that make enemies of men.
A pretty face, A pretty face.
A pretty face would one day do me in.
Her eyes are like the winter when she goes.
Holding secrets only winter knows.
Winters, Winter knows.
Cause winter's seen the wolves in women's clothes.
She came to me and made the laughter new.
We held eachother close the whole might through.
Love is blind, Love went blind.
I didn't see her let you in the room.
A gunshot was the only word she said.
And all of my defenses came out red.
Love went red, Love went red.
She left me for you, Left me lyin dead.
So I watched her as you put me in the dirt.
She had my wallet tucked inside her skirt.
Love went blind, Love went blind.
But I'm not dead if what you did don't hurt.
Turns out this is actually a song of Fiction Family, a collaboration between Jon and Sean Watkins from Nickel Creek. The song is so damn neat, intelligently written and of course, with Jon's soulful voice,this made me feel I was right at home. Its Jon's attempt to write a song about murder.I tried like reading the lyrics repeatedly until it sinks in and I can visualize it. This made me so depressed the whole day.LOL right? I was picturing a 50's setting, good friends who unfortunately fell in love with the same girl not decent enough to deserve the love of both guys.Her eyes are like the winter when she goes. . Eyes as cold as winter.It ended up the other guy killing his own friend...and its depressing. Now of course I was picturing a winter night when this happened.and i don't know why but for some reason I always view winter as the saddest season of all.sheeeesssshh Jon why do you have to be this good a songwriter?
